Really nice solution, looks very in-character for the board.

Bump, price drop

Well ... It's been an honor, ladies and gents

What a beast! What switches are in those? ITW magnetic valve?

Thanks for organizing! Let's see if we can get some people together for this once again

Hype!

Not just you, I'm in the same boat and totally agree with what you said

Don't know about this mousepad specifically, but my two cents on glass mousepads in general: Are you are aware that you will have to wear a gaming sleeve whenever using it and will probably also have to upgrade the sliders on your mouse or at least replace them more often? Naked skin will stick to ...

Bump, removed one board

Bump

Has been like that for me since approximately two weeks or maybe even longer. At least some pages on the wiki are readable with the Google translate mode ("translate this page" next to the title on google search).

Might just be some gunk crumbles from the insulating foam that got stuck on the pads. I know that happened to me, but I realized it before putting it back together

Never heard anything like this. Sounds like something might be sticky inside of the switches that prevents the capacative pads from separating from the pcb. I'm afraid you will have to open them. (Maybe it's not necessary to take the individual switches apart, though)

As soon as they work normally ...

Thanks! Probably this switch, according to DT: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=14663&p=330697&hilit=Siemens ...

Can anyone help me out with this Siemens Typewriter? Couldn't find anything on this online.

Hello,

I wanna trade my ALPS AKB-3320. It's a special version with (I assume) Kanji & other additional sublegends. Overall condition is good, the switches are smooth but the housing isn't spotless.

A great find! I have some other keypunch "data entry" style keyboards (no "return" or "enter" key) with hall effect keys. Sadly, I prefer "clickey" tactile feedback keys such as the ever-loving model M. Photos are on my web site http://ferretronix.com/tech/mohawk_data_systems/


Really pretty ...

Wow, that would be tremendous! I'm taking one for sure.

That's gorgeous! Really nice pictures and nice job on the cleanup. There should be some threads on how to clean and lube FLS 3rd gen. I haven't come around to convert or really clean mine yet, but I'll follow your updates and maybe can even help along the way.

Are you planning on a hardware ...

To be honest, could be both. Might be worth checking out whether or not you can wax-boil the switches (depends on the type and generation of ALPS you have in your board). This method is known to restore the keyfeel almost perfectly and is very simple.

Nice find!

I never had any issues with bleaching unevenly yellowed cases. I think you could try peroxide salon creme and apply it partially, wherever necessary

Price Update

Probably Nixdorf Magnetic Valve. Maybe check the site of the nixdorf museum

Edit: I also found this: https://www.ebay.at/itm/284236957089

Cool! What is the socket in the middle for?

Very pretty! Consider me jealous

Price Update

Thanks so much! Amazing work
